hata_ph I must have misled you. I trust what you write do work under other circumstances but I do a frugal install. I did open up the iso and placed boot on sda2 and VL7.0.....directory also on sda2 and the menu.lst for debian is on sda1 and both are linux partitions but due to me being VL or vl and not root and not a real user but a "Live Session User" it seems there are one sda1 that is virtual and one that is real? If I try to write to the virtual one it looks real but refuse to save and tell the path to the real sda1 that do save.

So now I will test if it is possible to write to the sda2 too. I failedit says that sda2 is read only so it can not be changed.

May I ask something that can be sensitive. I manage to work with both Parted Magic OS, CDLinux OS and Porteus OS and all of them are varieties of Slax.

Should I trust then that Vector is real Slackware and that Slax is too allowing for the taste of a Slackware Developer so that Slackware is more keen on permissions and such? Why else all these problems?
